Bisons Combat Modes

This formidable creature alternates between two tactical stances, each offering specialized combat advantages. 

The lowered-head posture enables a unique flipping maneuver that tosses smaller foes across the battlefield, proving particularly devastating against lightweight opponents and chaotic skirmishes.

Mastering Devastating Leap Strikes

The standard upright stance enables a brutal aerial assault. By pressing C to toggle modes, players initiate a charged leap that culminates in catastrophic impact damage during descent. 

Optimal execution requires monitoring the charge indicator – full activation unleashes approximately 1500% standard attack power. This technique transforms the Bison into a mobile artillery unit, capable of eliminating threats in single strikes.

Advanced Combat Mobility

Successful impacts maintain the beast’s冲锋 velocity, enabling relentless hit-and-run tactics. This kinetic preservation allows continuous battlefield domination through precise hit sequencing and positional mastery.

Optimizing Charge Mechanics

A well-timed downward strike during the leap’s apex delivers maximum force. Skilled riders can chain these attacks, transforming engagements into calculated demolition sequences against both creatures and structures.

Performance Enhancement Strategies

The Speedy Harvester perk amplifies both resource gathering and combat efficiency when mounted. Base-level specimens tame devastating potential, with stat escalation through selective breeding creating unrivaled war machines.
